The diagnostic workup was negative for myasthenic syndromes. He progressively developed cognitive dysfunction with frontal release signs and asymmetric parkinsonism. Cerebrospinal fluid evaluation revealed 4 leukocytes\/uL, 0.32\u2009g\/L proteins, 0.85\u2009g\/L glucose, and absent oligoclonal bands. Weakly positive anti\u2010PNMA2 (Ma2\/Ta) antibodies were present, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a T2 hyperintensity involving the midbrain and pons. Based on these features, the diagnosis of immune\u2010mediated brainstem encephalitis was considered. The patient did not improve after several cycles of methylprednisolone, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasma exchange. At 1 year after onset, he developed horizontal and vertical gaze limitation and worsening of the parkinsonism and cognitive dysfunction. By age 53, he was severely disabled, requiring percutaneous gastrostomy for feeding. Anti\u2010IgLON5 was negative. He fulfilled the clinical criteria for probable progressive supranuclear palsy. He died from pneumonia at age 54. The neuropathological examination revealed a 4\u2010repeat tauopathy with features of CBD with extensive involvement of the brainstem.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>RP\u2010CBD may resemble brainstem encephalitis.
